Just plain N95 surgical masks, I have a packet of duck bills that I’ll rotate to to change the sensation, the KF94s are the most comfortable but recently I haven’t been able to find any with decent nose wire, so they are hard to wear with my glasses, tape helps.

A friend made me some fabric masks but they are much heavier than the surgical masks so I rarely wear them, I mostly just have the shoved in my purse and pockets for emergencies, like if my disposable mask gets soiled and I don’t have a spare.

Surgically masks and KF94s I can wear for about an hour as long as I have my hair tied up in a high pony, and I use an elastic clip to hold the ear straps to my pony tail. If I don’t fix it to my hair I start getting pain in after just 10 minutes.

I was supposed to wear P2s for work, which is how I got into the habit of taping a mask to my face, because I couldn’t get a good “seal” without instantly triggering a neuralgia attack using just the ear straps. I left that job so I don’t need P2s, but sometimes a client will say they have covid after I’m already sitting next to them, and I wish I had a P2 to protect myself.
